About the artwork

The "Over the Moon" collection evokes warm memories and feelings for me as a native of Friesland. The image of the cow and sheep in the background is not only a symbol of the rural idyll, but also of a deeper connection to my native land.
The expression "being in the clouds" means being happy and fulfilled. This emotion is beautifully represented by the images of the cow and the sheep, which are ubiquitous in Friesland. These animals are not only a source of economic importance, but also an integral part of the Frisian landscape and culture.
Cows are an essential part of the Frisian landscape. They are a symbol of the agriculture and cattle farming that have shaped the region for centuries. The black and white Friesian cow, known for its milk production, is famous worldwide. For me, cows represent the simplicity and tranquillity of the countryside, a place I always return to for inner peace.
Sheep are also a familiar sight in Friesland. They graze peacefully on the green pastures and symbolise the gentle, friendly nature of the region. They remind me of the carefree summer days of my childhood, when I wandered through the meadows and felt the warmth of the sun on my face.
The "Over the Moon" collection with the cow and sheep in the background means more than just a visual delight to me. It evokes memories of a time when life seemed simpler, and reminds me to be proud of Freisland.
It is a constant source of joy and pride, and this sense of belonging is something I cherish and share with others.
